CONSIDERING THE ARREST.
PARIS, April ga Cabinet Council
was held to-day to consider the Schnae-
ble'S affair. NJ. Florenes, Minister
of Foreign Affairs, read long dispatch
from Herbette, French ambassador at

WOULD HAVE BAD EFFECT.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 26.-The
Government has prevented the Russian
admirers of Gen Boulanger from send
ing him the Sword of Honor on the
ground that such an act would create
an erroneous impression in regard to
Russia's foreign policy. Nj. Degiers,
foreign minister, will remain in office.
ON GERMAN SOIL.
BERLIN, April 23.-The North Ger
man Gazette, Semi-officially states that
the arrest of NJ. Schnaebles took place
on German soil. The authorities have
received information that NJ. Schnae-
bles had been conducting himself in a
suspicious manner at Metz and other
places on the frontier. a German Of
fetal, who is believed to be an accom-
plice of his has been arrested at Metz.
The statement that NJ. Schnaebles was
decoyed into German territory is I'M
true. The Berlin Tagblatt publishes a
Metz despatch in reference to letter
written by the German COmmiSsary of
Police, inviting NJ. Schnaebles to con
fer with him upon the erection of a
frontier pole. Herr Gautch writes: "If
to me which Shonld neither be heard by
German officials or German agents,
visit me in my private ROOM" This
was sent in reply.to a message from NJ.
who had been tampering
with Herr Gautch and other German
officials. The feeling in German offic-
ial circles is that too much has been
made of the incident. Documents re-
lating to the official inquiry will be for
warded to Paris, proving that the arrest
was legal. Public interest in the mat
ter is abating. The bourse did not
share in the agitation. At Paris the
market has been fiat to-day. Interna-
tional securities declining from t to
per cent. This however, was not due to
any alarm in connection with the
affair. The fact is realized
that Germany is now in danger of war
neither more nor less than any time
since January. Prince Bismarck is
determined to stamp out the Ranch
in AlSace-Lorriane. French
sympathiZers must either remain in
or go to the French territory. Ger
measures are being carried
out Systematically throughout Alsace-
Lorraine. For instance, four mer-
chants of the town of DinZ have been
expelled since Monday, for adhering
to their French nationality. Each of
them received twenty-four hours notice
to quit. At Chateau Salons, man was
for Haunting the French colors
at local ball. At the Sarreguimes
tribunal workman named Gapp was
sentenced to three months imprison-
ment for shouting ''Vive lie France"
Workman Schmitt was sentenced by
the same court to months imprisOn-
ment for wearing tri-colOred ribbons
for acting as correspondent
of the French Patriotic League. This
of French adherents may
have great effect upon the French
public and hasten a collision between
the two nations but these measures are
believed to be forced upon the German
who have instructions to
deal with all peaceful inhabitants as
German subjects.
